Start Performance Tools (STRPFRT)

The Start Performance Tools (STRPFRT) command calls the performance tools menu interface. This displays the performance tools main menu (PERFORM), which provides access to all of the performance tools.

Top

Library (LIB)

Specifies the library where the performance data is located.

QPFRDATA: The performance data files are located in the IBM-supplied performance data library, QPFRDATA.
library-name: Specify the name of the library where the performance database files are located.

Job name (JOB)

Specifies the job name to be used for submitting report and utility jobs for batch processing.

Note: If *NONE is specified on the Job description prompt (JOBD parameter), this parameter is ignored, and job processing is performed interactively.

The possible job-name values are:

*CMD: The command name that corresponds to the menu option selected is used to name the job. All jobs created by the same option will have the same name.
*MBR: The name selected for the performance data member in the Member prompt (MBR parameter) of the corresponding command is used. If the command does not have a MBR parameter and *MBR is specified for this parameter, the command name is used.
job-name: Specify the name to be used for batch jobs.

Job description (JOBD)

Specifies the job description used to submit the job for batch processing.

The possible job description values are:

QPFRJOBD: The IBM-supplied job description, QPFRJOBD, is used.
job-description-name: Specify the name of an alternate job description.
*NONE: A batch job is not submitted; processing continues interactively while the user waits. The user's workstation is not available for other use during this time, which could be significant for long jobs.

The possible library values are:

*LIBL: All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.
*CURLIB: The current library for the job is used to locate the job description. If no current library entry exists in the library list, QGPL is used.
library-name: Specify the library in which the job description is located.

Examples

STRPFRT

This command calls the menu interface to Performance Tools. The library, QPFRDATA, is used in storing and getting the performance data for this session. Requests that are submitted to run in batch use the job description QPFRJOBD in the library list.
